About me
Whatever you are going through, I'm here to help. I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. Most of my counseling experience has been working with teens and families. But I also worked in a Crisis Stabilization Unit and I see clients in private practice.
I know choosing to start therapy is a big decision and can feel a little scary - maybe you’re even stepping out of your comfort zone – but we’ll be a team and work on reaching your goals together. In the beginning we can get to know each other a little better and build a strong partnership. I’ll support you and encourage you but also challenge you or give you that extra push when you need it.
When I work with clients I usually use the Cognitive Behavioral approach which means I tend to focus on problem solving and bringing about positive changes in their lives by altering the way they think about things. Sometime people can get caught up in thought patterns that aren’t really helping them so changing learned thought patterns can help them change their perspective. Therapy isn’t an exact science, but more of a collaborative process, so I welcome your feedback as we move forward. Sometimes there may be exercises or activities you can do between sessions to work on strengthening your skills or even practicing new skills we discover together. We can set goals and objective and measure how you feel you are progressing in therapy. I wanted to share all of this with you because I believe it’s important that you understand a little about what therapy looks like so you know what to expect from me. I’m excited to go on this journey with you and I can’t wait to hear from you to learn all about why you came for counseling. I hope that you’ll reach out to me so we can start to work together soon.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Allyson Corcoran. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Super helpful and focused on what is the right thing to do. Provided great feedback and insight.
She’s an amazing, thoughtful therapist! I know she listens and doesn’t ever make me feel judged or different.
I've only been seeing Allyson for a couple weeks and she's already helped so much. She really seems to get me and makes me feel like I'm not crazy. I have a lot of confidence that we can work through all my different triggers one by one.
My favorite therapist I have ever seen!
Allyson has really been helping me deal with a lot of the feelings I’ve had while grieving and making strives to move forward with my life. It’s only been a few weeks but I can already feel my mindset gradually changing. She’s amazing!
She is a great person and a professional doctor
She understands me
And she gives me hope
outstanding
Have you ever felt like no one really understands? I have for a while. It’s been a short time but Allyson seems to 100% get it. She helps me feel like I’m not crazy and is helping me work on my self esteem, but strength and more things that will help me be a better stronger happier human going forward. Plus she’s patient, she will talk when I’m up for it.. that’s hard to find. No pressure.
Couldn’t be happier with ending up with her!
Allyson is amazing. Sometimes the simplest review says it all.
Allyson has been a fantastic sounding board for our teenage daughter. She listens and provides useful strategies that have helped our daughter to make positive changes. She is always responsive and it is apparent that she truly cares about our daughter.
Allyson is like the mother figure i didn't get much growing up recently. She's always so supportive of me and helps me find logical reasons when I'm upset and gives me different ways to solve my problems
Allyson has been a wonderful therapist. She definitely tried to get me to see things from other perspectives and tried to understand mine as well. I had a very positive experience with her. I am thankful to have gotten the opportunity to work with her.
Allyson is an excellent therapist. You can tell she knows and cares about humans!
She is really intuitive and wise and quite adept at picking up on themes and patterns easily. In a few short sessions, I already feel like I know myself better (and I've been in therapy for years). She has a friendly approach that makes me feel safe to open up and I truly value the push to set weekly goals to keep me working on myself between sessions. She also has a lot of valuable resources to share as well :)
She great. I enjoy working with her
Allyson is very supportive and offers good perspective on things! Very understanding and knowledgeable!
Allyson has been great. I can't say enough really. She's responded in a timely manner, pointed me in a few right directions, given me info and worksheets to try and get myself back together again
She’s literally the most wonderful human who’s ever helped me heal and move on in life and become a better person.
Allyson has really helped me with a lot of issues I was dealing with and I have and will continue to recommend her!
Allyson is very responsive and super caring. She has been a great help.
I only had a few sessions with Allyson but felt heard by her and always felt better after one of our chat sessions. She’s definitely responsive and understanding. I would highly recommend her.
Allyson has been helpful and supportive, offering tools to help me implement limit setting and positive change. I would recommend her!
Allyson has been a great listener and her responses have been full and succinct. I appreciate her comments very much.
Allyson is very helpful. She is kind and understanding. I like that she has worksheets I can read and learn from. I would highly recommend her.
I really enjoy Allison's direct approach. She cuts out the stuff that doesn't matter and gets right down to it which is totally my style. She gives me perspective in my current situation and I thoroughly appreciate that.
I really felt like I was speaking to a friend with professional advice. She made me feel extremely comfortable and I did not feel judged. Thank you Allyson for making me feel better about the decisions/regrets I have made in life and for helping me get through my personal issues!
Allyson is a good counselor.
Allyson made me and my partner both feel heard and respected. She clearly cares about her clients and does everything she can to help.
Allyson is excellent at seeing through all my perceived issues and getting to the heart of the matter, often when I have no idea. So thankful for that and her expertise.
Allyson has been amazing at helping me through a very hard time in my life. I write to her almost daily and she is always great at responding. Her words have helped me to change the way I see my situation and provide clarity for me. Allyson does incredible work that is not easy to describe in words but I feel great everything we interact. She has been vital in helping me and is changing my life for the better everyday!
Allyson is great.
Talking with Allyson is like taking to someone going through the same thing, it's amazing how she understands everything I say, she never misinterpreted anything I say. A great deal of empathy dwells within her.
Allyson has been a phenomenal counselor and she adds value to this app! I’m so lucky I paired with her!
